whatnot)...
but I'm hardly a CSS zealot. I only use the most basic of CSS elements (one
of which I do believe is padding).

According to the W3C, an assigned 'width' (and 'height') of a box refers to
the 'content area' of a box only. The padding, borders, and margins are then
added to this value to arrive at the total box width. If the 'width'
property is omitted, the total box width is the same as the 'content area'
of the surrounding container element.
All well and good. Unfortunately, all CSS enabled versions of IE before
IE6/strict use a different box model. In that model, the padding and borders
are counted as part of any assigned 'width' or 'height'. In the absence of
borders and padding, the two models agree. However, if a box has an assigned
"width', and if borders and/or padding are added, the standard box model
causes the overall box width (between the outer border edges) to increase,
while in IE's model the 'content area' gets squeezed by the same amount.
This is a major problem for proper page layout.

Don't mistake the box model issue to be a problem only encountered by those
who use pure table-less layouts. If you've not run into it, more power to
ya. But I'd venture a guess (and that's all that it is, I have no
scientific data to back this up) that you're in the minority.
